An advanced load-follow operation mode, Mode K, is presented for the Korean Standardized Nuclear Power Plants. The Mode K utilizes a heavy worth bank dedicated to axial shape control independent of the existing regulating banks. In Mode K, the heavy bank provides a wide range of axial shape control and a monotonic relationship between its motion and the axial shape change, which makes it easy to automate axial shape control. The achievement of full automatic reactor power control both for the reactivity and power shape would reduce the burden due to load-follow operation on the operator. Also, it can accommodate the frequen-cy control, which requires the plant to respond to the unexpected demand. The Mode K design concepts were tested using simulation responses of Yonggwang Units 3&4, the reference plants for the Korean Standardized Nuclear Power Plants. The results illustrate that the Mode K is an adequate operation mode to provide practical load-follow capabilities for the Korean Standardized Nuclear Power Plants.

The depth and heading control of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) are considered to follow the predetermined depth and heading angle. The proposed control algorithm was based on a sliding mode control, using estimated hydrodynamic coefficients. The hydrodynamic coefficients were estimated employing conventional nonlinear observer techniques, such as sliding mode observer and extended Kalman filter. Using the estimated coefficients, a sliding mode controller was constructed for a combined diving and steering maneuver. The simulated results of the proposed control system were compared with those of a control system that employed true coefficients. This paper demonstrated the proposed control system, and discusses the mechanisms that make the system stable and accurately follow the desired depth and heading angle in the presence of parameter uncertainty.

The purpose of this study is to analyze dose comparison and image quality evaluation according to Volume and Helical mode using ATOM Phantom. It is to actively use the Volume mode in pediatric CT examinations. There was no significant difference with Helical and Volume in the value of Noise, HU, SNR(p>0.05). All dose values was no statistical difference(p>0.05). In the value of DLP and effective dose by part, Volume mode was measured lower than Helical mode. For qualitative analysis, by scan parameter helical mode showed respectively 2.6, 3.3, 4.36 and Volume mode indicated 2.8, 3.64, 4.44 point. Image evaluation for the follow-up, Helical mode and Volume mode were respectively 3.8 and 3.83. In fact, There was no significant difference. In CT scans in children under 5 years, because 640-MDCT Volume scan dose compared with Helical mode is lower and there is no significant difference with two modes in the image quality, 640-MDCT Volume scan is thought to be useful for pediatric CT scans.

In this paper, the discrete optimal control is made to have the robust property of Sliding mode controller. A augmented system with a virtual state is constructed for this objective and noble sliding surface is constructed based on this system. The sliding surface is the same as the optimal control trajectory in the original system. The states follow the optimal trajectory even if there exist uncertainties. The reaching phase problem of sliding mode control is disappear in this method.

This paper propose a new active common-mode voltage damper circuit that is capable of suppressing a common-mode voltage produced in the PWM VSI. The new active common mode voltage damper is consisted of a half-bridge inverter and a common mode transformer with a blocking capacitor. Principle of the active common mode damper is as follow; by applying the compensation voltage which has the same amplitude and opposite polarity to the PWM inverter system. So, common mode voltage and high frequency leakage current can be reduced. Simulated and experimental results show that common-mode voltage damper makes contributions to reducing a high frequency leakage current and common-mode voltage.

This paper proposes a robust posture stabilization control method for wheeled mobile robots. To solve the robust posture stabilization, we introduce reference generation mode, reference tracking mode, and reference regulation mode. In reference generation mode, a kinematic time-invariant controller is used to generate the reference trajectory which starts from the initial posture of the actual robot to the desired posture. In reference tracking mode, a sliding mode position controller is employed in such a way that the actual robot can follow the reference trajectory in the desired forward or backward moving direction, even in the presence of the disturbances in the dynamics. In reference regulation mode, a sliding mode heading direction controller is used such that the actual robot can maintain the desired posture against the disturbances. In this way, robust posture stabilization can be achieved at almost all global regions.

We propose the hybrid robust controller for TDC(Time Delay Control) and SMC(Sliding Mode Control) method. TDC and SMC deal with the time-varying system parameters, unknown dynamics and unexpected disturbance. This controller is applied to follow the desired reference model for the uncertain time-varying overhead crane. The control performance is evaluated through simulation. The theoretical results indicate That the proposed controller shows excellent performance to an overhead crane with the uncertain time-varying parameters and disturbance.

Follow-me function of drones is new and attractive for selfie drone users, where the drone autonomously follows and capture the user. Currently the products use the difference between GPS's in the drone and user side mobile GCS, but the targeting accuracy is not satisfactory owing to the low accuracy of GPS data, often the order of ten meters. We designed a new follow-me mode algorithm that utilizes the accuracy of visual tracking algorithm and the reliability of GPS-based. The experiment shows that proposed follow-me can capture much accurately the target user in the center of video content than GPS-only methods, and recover the vision algorithm failure quickly in 5-10 seconds.
